Joan Marie Bailey

Joan was a beautiful lady. She had a personality that was very warm and inviting. She was easy to talk to and very likable. Dan and I send our prayers to Joan's family. With our deepest sympathy and condolences sent out extra to Chris, Jeff, Shaun, Brandon and families. ♡☦

My deepest condolences to the family of Joan-Gile Bailey. I met Joan some time in the early 60’s, I was one of the so called “Public’s” as I attended the public schooll And Joan attended St.Matthew’s Catholic school. As our schools were merged and the parochial kids came to the public school we became really good friends. Together we shared Darlington dances, shopping trips, Trips to Platteville to see my boyfriend, and I was invited to Morher Margaret’s birthday party. We went our separate ways yet remained friends enjoying each other’s Christmas letters, class reunions and lunches. Her laughter and zest for life will always be how I remember my dear friend Joan. No more pain, no more suffering, Rest In Peace your life on earth is over and your eternal journey begins. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN! All My Love, Diane Olson

JOAN, why didn’t you tell me you were leaving so soon? You were the funniest girl in the class of 1970. We spent many nights at one another’s houses and were dropped by The Populars at the same times Isn’t it amazing that we did so well in our booby hatch lives?! I love you and miss you already, BETH

Working with Joan in Cardiology was a high light of the day. She was a wonderful friend. Every time I see my water color paintings hanging of Montreal on the wall, I think of Joan and I at a meeting in Montreal. She was a loyal friend and wonderful person. Rest In Peace my friend.

So many memories, from working together for 25 years, dinners and lunches out , and an integral part of my kids and family during difficult times. There are not words to express the empty place her passing leaves with so many with such an untimely loss, Condolences to the family. Joan, you will never be forgotten. Love, Becca
